Before You Begin

Record the current settings and any message shown on the screen before making changes. Close active jobs normally, and change only the settings identified in this article.

From the factory, our computers are initially set to power on after an unexpected loss of power. However, it is important to note that this setting can sometimes revert back to the default setting established by the motherboard manufacturer, which is to remain turned off when power is restored. This document aims to provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to ensure that your system powers on automatically after experiencing an unexpected power loss.

  • Step 1: Plug in a USB keyboard to the USB port on the bottom of the touchscreen
  • Step 2: Power cycle the saw by throwing the master breaker. NOTE: Make sure you give the saw 30 seconds to completely de-power before turning it back on.
  • Step 3: IMPORTANT – As soon as you turn on the power switch, start pressing the delete key on the keyboard over and over (≈1 time per sec) until you see the main BIOS screen

Confirm the Result

After checking all connections and reinstalling covers, restore power through the approved startup procedure. Confirm that the correct device comes online without a disconnected-drive or communication warning, then test its command, direction, and stopping response in a controlled mode.

If the issue remains, record the exact on-screen message, affected component, indicator-light state, and the last change made. Provide those details to Enventek Technical Support; do not repeatedly recalibrate or replace parts without identifying the cause.
